Shop Garage Sales for Big Savings

Shopping garage sales for decent fishing equipment can be a frustrating experience until you hit the one sale just right. You can save $10, $50 or even hundreds of dollars by buying lures, landing nets and rods and reels for just pennies on the dollar. Many anglers accumulate a small fortune in fishing tackle during their lifetimes and then leave it to family members who don't fish. For the time and effort of walking up the driveway and through the garage door you can occasionally find equipment that is in excellent condition for a fraction of what you'd pay for it elsewhere. I once bought an Abu Garcia rod and reel for $10. Other shoppers have done even better, taking home antique lures valued at perhaps hundreds of dollars.
